Abstract
The authors systematically summarized the research on the radiant cooling system in recent years. On the basis of a brief introduction of the radiant cooling system and its working principles, the advantages and disadvantages of the system were concluded compared with the conventional air conditioning system. The reasons for the slow development of radiant cooling system in China and its future trend were then discussed. It was suggested the solution to the condensation problem be focused on collecting and discharging the condensation water. This measure will not only improve the capacity of the radiant cooling system but also expand the application scope of the radiant cooling system.
